A while back I walked in to my local Walmart. To my immediate left were shelves packed with all the school supplies. My first thought was, "Hallelujah! I never have to go school supply shopping again!" And then almost immediately I heard myself thinking, "Oh dear. I'll never get to go school supply shopping again!"
I didn't realize that something that I once dreaded every year would actually be missed when I no longer had to do it. And today was the first day of school. Living on a street with three schools, I felt a little weird this morning -- like I was missing out on the real action.
Luckily Daughter #3 told me I could buy her a new backpack for University. She's so thoughtful that way!

Carly has moved down to Rexburg, I guess. You'll need to let her know if she can ever get a ride down to Utah County I'll pick her up and we'll do something fun. :)
Actually we take her next week. School doesn't start until the 12th. I'll pass on your offer to her.
here, they just charge you big school fees and buy all the school supplies for you ... not sure how i feel about it.
have fun at college, carly!
